7 Reasons Why The Tesla Model X is a BAD winter weather vehicle. It really sucks when you cant get in your car, but thats just the 1st issue. Watch to find out what its like to own a Tesla Model X in winter conditions. Tesla fanboys wont tell you the real story, they will only tell you its the best car ever made! LOL

There is a #8 that I forgot to mention. In the winter, driving efficiency is bad due to cabin heater usage, the battery heater, and added drag due to the snow/rain. I get around 561 wh/mile while using heat and driving normally.

At 561 Wh per mile thats only 169 miles on a charge assuming a 95 kWh battery and you use it all. (95,000 / 561 = 169)
However the cold temps also lower the battery's capacity. So you dont get a full 95kwh.

A full charge to 95kwh based on the national average of $.13/kwh = $12.35
That $12.35 will get you roughly 169 miles in a Long Range Model X in the winter.
$12.35 would buy me 4.84 gallons of gasoline in Upstate NY at $2.55/gallon.
A Toyota Prius driver would get 224 miles on that same $12.35. (4.84 gal x 50mpg = 242 miles)

Oh and you can have a Prius for $13,000 instead of $89,000 on a new raven Model X
Just sayin....
